📚 New Book Review: Autocracy, Inc. by Anne Applebaum In an era where irregular warfare tactics are increasingly defining global conflicts, understanding the strategies employed by autocracies is crucial. Our latest book review, "Irregular Warfare in the 21st Century: Autocracy’s Global Playbook," by Anna Z. delves into Anne Applebaum's "Autocracy, Inc.," a pivotal book that unpacks the diverse and sophisticated tactics used by authoritarian regimes. In presenting her case, Applebaum paints an alarming picture of contemporary autocratic power and reach, while, perhaps unknowingly, revealing how the United States’ autocratic adversaries are coalescing around common IW advantages. Viewed through the lens of IW, Applebaum’s analysis makes clear that countering Autocracy, Inc.’s efforts requires both understanding their intricacies and investing in initiatives that undermine their efficacy while still embodying the very democratic values they are employed to dismantle. 🔗 Read the full review here: https://lnkd.in/gxJNztGX Set for release on July 23rd, this book offers a compelling account of how autocrats are collectively fortifying their domestic and international power. 📖 Pre-order the book here: https://lnkd.in/gKumiZaS #IrregularWarfareInitiative #BookReview #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity Doubleday Penguin Random House Harvard Law School
